It’s a complete reimagining of the compact softbox, designed for the fast-paced reality of modern video production. For our community of filmmakers and photographers in Delhi-NCR and across India, this modifier is a game-changer, blending studio-quality light shaping with unparalleled portability and speed.

This isn’t just an update; it’s a new standard for on-the-go lighting. The Light Dome Mini III tackles the biggest challenges of location shoots limited time and space. Its innovative design allows you to spend less time on setup and more time capturing the perfect shot, all while delivering the soft, flattering light that Aputure is known for.

  • Flat-Out Brilliant Design: The standout feature is the all-new quick-folding, flat-pack speed ring. Unlike traditional softboxes that remain bulky when collapsed, the Mini III folds down into a slim, flat profile. This makes it incredibly easy to pack and transport, freeing up critical space in your gear bag for other essential tools.

This means no more wrestling with rods on set; you can get your light modified and ready to shoot faster than ever before.
  • Perfectly Circular Catchlights: Create stunning, lifelike portraits with the Mini III’s 32-sided circular design. This immense number of rods creates one of the most perfectly round shapes available in any softbox, resulting in beautiful, smooth, and natural-looking eyelights that bring your subjects to life.
  • Robust and Ready for Action: Built to withstand the rigors of professional use, the Light Dome Mini III features 16 heavy-duty steel rods. These are sturdier and more durable than previous versions, ensuring the softbox maintains its perfect parabolic shape shoot after shoot.
  • Complete Lighting Control: The kit provides everything you need to shape your light with precision. It includes a 1.5-stop front diffusion cloth for a soft touch, a reversible gold/silver inner baffle to add warmth or contrast, and a 40º fabric light control grid to eliminate spill and create a more focused, dramatic beam.
  • Universal Bowens Mount: Simplify your kit with a modifier that works across your lighting arsenal. The Mini III features the universal Bowens Mount, making it the perfect partner for a wide range of lights, from the Aputure Light Storm series to the amaran COB fixtures and countless other compatible lights.
